Schnitzel with noodles...
These are a few of my favorite things...
I spent 5+ years in Germany with the U.S. Army, loved every moment.
Vielen dank!
Wiesbaden? Are you sure he’s not Deep in the Hurtgen Forest?
Your point about European trust in government is spot on. The European image for millennia of how the world should work is, from top to bottom: God or the Gods - an Anointed Sovereign - a class of Nobles - the People (aka the Peasants). It’s a sort of pyramid with the modern version sans deity and a permanent unelected bureaucratic class in place of hereditary nobles. We Americans still conceive of God at the top but from there the pyramid is turned upside down. Leftism in all its manifestations is an invasive species brought here from the European $#!+holes our ancestors suffered mightily to escape.
Ohhhh kay.
Thanks for the tip. I briefly viewed his site. The blogger is articulate and writes very well. Some of the topics may tend toward the arcane, such as the three eras of Roman History that eventually led to the Roman Law which effects Germany to this day. Still, there is a group somewhere for every kind of blog.
He may attract more reader participation if we were also allowed to post articles or topics.
There may be a greater interest if he had at least four sections; one for current news in that part of Europe. What did Merkel say today and to whom?
one for financial markets news only.
One for science, medical or engineering news.
one for soccer or futbol
one for the arts and those who produce the arts.
one for psychology and religion (or the lack thereof) in Germany.
He might even offer a topic that can only be discussed in German. The native Germans I know take pride in the thoroughness and the complexities of their language, same with the Swedes.
What I’m describing sounds like a full time job. This man is retired, so it’s unlikely he would wish to become so steeped into the duties of such a blog all by himself.
Ping.
Thanks for posting! I’m also German born... and find myself exasperated when discussing politics with relatives when visiting. The only thing Germans seem to get riled up about is “privacy”... I chuckle whenever I come across large apartment buildings that have been cloaked by google street view.
